Sandeman

Loaded up on the bus at 10:30 to go to the river and try out some wine. We went to the Sandeman winery. We saw the sign the night before and we thought it was Zorro, boy were we confused! Once we were there we wondered through their facility. There were barrels upon barrels of wine being stored. The oldest they have is from 1906. This one costs about 3,000 Euro per bottle. And it has to be drinken within 24 hours.
For the "tasting" part they served us only one type of wine -- tawny. It tasted a bit oaky. Can't say I was a fan. This is Cate and myself at the tasting. She's one of the two girls living in the residencia.

After the tour we had a couple hours of free time. We bought some snacks to accompany our lunches and ate down along side the river. Such a gorgeous day!!!

Right before we left we were hanging out by a race of some sort. They were riding off-road bicycles. We're still not sure what was going on. Anyways they started chucking us hats. We all looked pretty darn sexy.

At around 3 we headed back to Salamanca. I slept... like normal. We made a quick stop for ice cream / bathrooms about halfway through. After that I did my hw. We arrived in Salamanca around 8 pm.
